Ht. 5'9, Wt. 193 - Hey all, I need you all to do me a huge favor. I know we can all lose weight, it's obvious we can.. just the motivation isnt there for me... along with a few others... Anyhow, I want to lose 8 pounds a month.. making me 24 pounds lighter March 21st... So in other words I wanna be 169 March 21st. But, I cant get the motivation I need.. I dunno why.. its like I worked my butt off to get to 193, I used to weigh 220.. and I feel so awesome for losing that much but the more you lose the harder it gets... So, I've been slacking off and eating candy :-o and pop and all sortsa stuff I dont need.. so I almost know if I quit that I'd lose my 8 pounds before Feb. 21st... I dunno! I have pretty decent motivation when I want .. when it comes to food but.. exercise? Ha! I always make excuses, the gym is to crowded, its to cold, my leg hurts... the list goes on and on.. I think a dr. needs to tell me I could die from being overweight.. that'd be the motivation I need. Anyhow, I'll stop rambling... ne one wanna give me that little shove go ahead and reply. Thanks~ MeGaN

keep on at what you are doing!!! (not eating candy!! just doing what you did before) getting down to 193 from 220 is a celebration in itself but that doesnt mean you should just relax or it will all go back on and your hard work will go down in history badly! get a friend closeby to help you work out if s/he wants to work out too and you can motivate each other and if one of you doesnt want to excersize you are letting the other person down so you can't get out of not excersizing!!!
